  Let's turn Austin into a giant game board! This Amazing Scavenger Quest is an interactive smart phone adventure hunt that combines the fun of the "Amazing Race" with a three-hour sightseeing tour of Austin, Texas. Guided from any smart phone, your group will make its way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. And, you can compete against other groups for the best score. The tour requires approximately 2.0 miles of walking. Using a smart phone as your "guide" allows your team to start when you want and determine your own pace of play. You'll start in the heart of the state's capitol and go on a journey among the historic sites of the city while experiencing the excitement of Sixth Street and other unique facets of this high energy town as you make your way down to the scenic waterfront. Offered at a fixed price for a group as opposed to per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value if you're on a budget. (less) ... Read more

This 750,000-square mile wilderness is the eighth largest national park in the lower 48 states and a desert backpacking and rock climbing paradise. In this region, delicate desert flowers exist alongside fossilized trees millions of years old and mountain passes give way to steep-walled canyons and cliffs. Much of this rugged land has remained unchanged for centuries. Hundreds of species of birds and a healthy diversity of other animal and plant communities thrive within the splendid isolation of ancient limestone canyons, juniper and mesquite-covered mesas and coal-black night skies.
